Eli Drinkwitz wanted all of the blame for Missouri’s loss to Alabama football Saturday to be directed at him. “They got a good football team,” Drinkwitz said. “We just didn’t get it done today. Not going to assign blame to anybody other than the head football coach.

Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer has updated the status of two injured Crimson Tide players in the Missouri win.

Alabama's defeat of Missouri was one of the highs of Week 7, while Penn State's loss was one of the lows. A look at Saturday's winners and losers.

The No.8 Alabama Crimson Tide (4-1) travels to Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium to face the No. 14 Missouri Tigers (5-0) in a Big Ten matchup.

A 25-yard deep ball from Missouri quarterback Beau Pribula to wide receiver Donovan Olugbode ignited the Tigers offense for a moment. Three plays later, a Pribula deep ball landed in the hands of Crimson Tide freshman cornerback Dijon Lee for his first collegiate interception and securing Alabama's 27-24 win at Missouri.

You'd have thought No. 8 Alabama (5-1, 3-0 SEC) had just lost at No. 14 Missouri (5-1, 1-1). Instead, the Tide snapped Missouri's 15-game home winning streak, and Simpson delivered when it mattered most -- twice converting fourth downs on the decisive drive to seal a 27-24 win at Faurot Field.

Alabama football is at the midway point of the season. Here are four question marks the Crimson Tide has definitively answered through six games.

A 25-yard dot to freshman wide receiver Donovan Olugbode put hope into Faurot Field and the Missouri Tigers as seconds ticked off the scoreboard

The first quarter wasn't the efficient offense Alabama State was used to, getting blanked for the first time in the season. Quarterback Andrew Body found his rhythm in the second quarter, especially on the ground, but a costly interception in the fourth quarter gave Jackson State a two-score lead.
